Just did the Myers-Briggs test here:

It reckons I'm #ENFP and the description it gives for that fits me pretty well. Mind you, so do most descriptions of my star sign.

#MyersBriggs is the new astrology ; )

The descriptions are generally vague and all of them are flattering. This called the Barnum or Forer effect. A fortune teller, Astrologer etc makes a vague statement that could apply to many/most people. The listener is pleasantly surprised to hear things that apply to them. Result they start to see themselves reflected in the test.

Finally when these tests are used inside organizations to hire etc, they can weed out neurodivergent people.

…Example I might score 55% Thinker and someone else 40%. I will be bucketed as Thinking and the other person as a Feeling. Yet we're closer together, than we're to the extremes of our buckets.
- MBTI ignores Neuroticism - a trait that is an important predictor of career, health and romantic outcomes.

Why do people think the results of the MBTI tells themselves something meaningful about themselves or their team?

- Poorly selected boundaries - 16 Personality types doesn't come close to covering all of humanity, so these 16 are arbitrarily selected buckets.
- Median split to select the boundaries. People close the median might further away from the people they're classified with than the people just the other side of the median.

- Not Stable/Repeatable - with a reliable test I should be able to give the test once and a few weeks later give you the same test and get the same result. Myers Briggs not so much.
- Predictive Value - a useful test should predict outcomes in the real world. MBTI has no predictive value.
- Forced Questions - the test asks questions that force you have a binary answer, yet human personality is better measured on a continuum.

#MyersBriggs #PersonalityTests is popular and that is about the only thing it has going for it. In reality it is no better than rolling die and assigning people a personality profile based on the die roll.

- Carl Jung's ideas are at the base of the test. Unfortunately Jung's work has never been empirically tested. Hint when your base level construct is unsound you might have a train wreck on your hands.

I don't take the #MyersBriggs test very seriously because it's only pseudoscience, but I've changed from #INTJ to #ENTP. No idea how that happened. I guess I've come out of my shell?

It does seem to me that there's more " SENSOR " culture in the media than it used to be. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GFIawV6BDFI #MBTI #myersbriggs #personalitytype #personalitytypes #infp #infps #youtubeshorts #intuitive #intuition #16personality #16personalitytypes

Before the pandemic I was an INFP, during 2020 I retook the #MyersBriggs test and got INFJ, and now I took it again and have apparently morphed into an INTP-T: "the turbulent logician"

I tend to agree with these #enneagram descriptions of myself. seems to fit with my #myersbriggs #ISTP results

Does the Myers-Briggs personality-type model encourage a static self-image?

Another leading psychological perspectives suggest, a dynamic personality that adjusts appropriately according to the situation, is a marker of good mental health. That mental problems are a result of people getting stuck in one personality type.

Which would mean the #MyersBriggs test, which narrows you down to a single personality type, is inherently bad for mental health. 🤔

What’s your take on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (the test that gives you one of 16 four-letter categories, like “INTP,” to indicate your personality)?

When you are a Sensor, you wouldn't know before hand. BUT if you were an iNtuitive, you would know that you differ from most people.

Ei seitan. Näin just, että yksi autismiaktivisti killuttaa Mastodon-biossaan #MyersBriggs-kirjainyhdistelmää...

Miten joku fellow-autisti ei ole neurodiversiteettisukelluksellaan sivistynyt ko. huuhaan suhteen. #EnYmmärrä.

Astrology, Hogwarts Houses, and Myers-Briggs are all fine, but when it's all said and done what really matters is if you were a Grave Digger or a Bigfoot!
